 ====== PLD Linux Distribution ====== ====== PLD Linux Distribution ======
 PLD is a free, RPM-based Linux distribution,​ aimed at the more advanced users and administrators,​ who accept the tradeoffs of using a system, that might require manual tweaking in exchange for much flexibility. Simultaneous availability for a wide variety of architectures and non-conservative approach to RPM usage provides our users with a consistent environment on almost all available architectures. More details are available in the [[:​About|about]] section. ​ PLD is a free, RPM-based Linux distribution,​ aimed at the more advanced users and administrators,​ who accept the tradeoffs of using a system, that might require manual tweaking in exchange for much flexibility.

 +
 +==== 24 April 2016: Kernel packages update ====
 +
 +Jan Rękorajski [[http://​lists.pld-linux.org/​mailman/​pipermail/​pld-devel-en/​2016-April/​024842.html|writes]]:​
 +With the addition of new longterm kernel (4.4) we would have six (6) package lines to keep up. Because of this I'm removing 3.10 and 3.14 from Th to keep the number maintainable. There will be no more releases for those lines and I will move existing packages to th-archive within a month.
 +
 +==== 6th December 2015: PLD Th 2015 snapshot released ====
 +
 +Today we released 2015 snapshot of PLD/Linux Th. It is available on [[ftp://​ftp.pld-linux.org/​dists/​th/​2015/​PLD/​|ftp://​ftp.pld-linux.org/​dists/​th/​2015/​PLD/​]] and as poldek sources th-2015. Please give mirrors 24 hours to synchronize. ​

 +==== 25 September 2015: Kernel 3.4 removal ====
 +
 +Jan Rękorajski [[http://​lists.pld-linux.org/​mailman/​pipermail/​pld-devel-en/​2015-September/​024506.html|writes]]:​
 +The 3.4 longterm [[packages:​kernel|kernel]] line has reached the end of maintainablity and usability for us.
 +I will not update it, and I will remove it from Th-main soon.
 +Old packages will be available in th-archive.
 +
 +==== 21 February 2015: i486 architecture removal from PLD Th ====
 +
 +On 28 February 2015 i486 architecture will be removed from PLD Th main tree.
 +
 +This also means drop of support for i586 class CPUs and some old, rare, "​degraded"​ i686 chips lacking cmov instructions support.
 +
 +Growing number of packages that either do not build for i486 or are severly crippled (like IcedTea or programs requiring atomic operations) with loss of users of this architecture caused us to finally abandon it.
 +
 +i486 will be removed from main/​ready/​test trees, It will still be available in archived yearly snapshots.
 +==== 6th December 2014: PLD Th 2014 snapshot released ====
 +
 +Today we released snapshot of PLD/Linux Th under the name 2014. It is available on [[ftp://​ftp.pld-linux.org/​dists/​th/​2014/​PLD/​|ftp://​ftp.pld-linux.org/​dists/​th/​2014/​PLD/​]] and as poldek sources th-2014. Please give mirrors 24 hours to synchronize. ​
 +
 +The main highlights of this release are: 
 +
 +  * RPM 5.4.15
 +  * kernels 3.4.104, 3.10.61, 3.14.25 and 3.17.4
 +  * glibc 2.20
 +  * Perl 5.20.1
 +  * Ruby 2.0.0.598
 +  * PHP 5.2.17, 5.3.29, 5.4.35, 5.5.19 and 5.6.3
 +  * CUPS 2.0

 +==== 11th September 2014: Ruby 2.0 in PLD Th ====

 +http://​lists.pld-linux.org/​mailman/​pipermail/​pld-devel-en/​2014-September/​024021.html
 +
 +==== 8th July 2014: Kernel packaging news for PLD Th ====
 +
 +Kernel line 3.14 has been announced as new longterm and, because of this,
 +we will now ship three longterm kernel package sets (3.4, 3.10 and 3.14),
 +until 3.4 gets deprecated in October this year, when it will be removed from Th.
 +
 +Also, and more importantly,​ vserver support will be disabled on master,
 +that is 3.15.x as of this moment. It's because the project is falling
 +behind the mainline kernel and only really supported for the stable/​longterm lines.
